In 2006, I invited the late General Bill Odom to address my Thursday Congressional
luncheon group. Gen. Odom, a former NSA director, called the Iraq war “the
greatest strategic disaster in American history," and told the surprised
audience that he could not understand why Congress had not impeached the president
for pushing this disaster on the United States. History continues to prove the
General’s assessment absolutely correct.

In September, 2002, arguing against a US attack on Iraq, I said the following
on the House Floor:

No credible evidence has been produced that Iraq has or is close to having
nuclear weapons. No evidence exists to show that Iraq harbors al-Qaeda terrorists.
Quite to the contrary, experts on this region recognize Hussein as an enemy
of the al Qaeda and a foe to Islamic fundamentalism.

Unfortunately, Congress did not listen.

As we know, last week the second largest city in Iraq, Mosul, fell to the al-Qaeda
allied Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Last week an al-Qaeda that had
not been in Iraq before our 2003 invasion threatened to move on the capitol,
Baghdad, after it easily overran tens of thousands of Iraqi military troops.

The same foreign policy “experts” who lied us into the Iraq war are
now telling us we must re-invade Iraq to deal with the disaster caused by their
invasion! They cannot admit they were wrong about the invasion being a “cakewalk”
that would pay for itself, so they want to blame last week’s events on
the 2011 US withdrawal from Iraq. But the trouble started with the 2003 invasion
itself, not the 2011 troop withdrawal. Anyone who understands cause and effect
should understand this.

The Obama administration has said no option except for ground troops is off
the table to help the Iraqi government in this crisis. We should not forget,
however, that the administration does not consider Special Forces or the CIA
to be “boots on the ground.” So we may well see Americans fighting
in Iraq again.

It is also likely that the administration will begin shipping more weapons and
other military equipment to the Iraqi army, in the hopes that they might be
able to address the ISIS invasion themselves. After years of US training, costing
as much as $20 billion, it is unlikely the Iraqi army is up to the task. Judging
from the performance of the Iraqi military as the ISIS attacked, much of that
money was wasted or stolen.

A big US government weapons transfer to Iraq will no doubt be favored by the
US military-industrial complex, which stands to profit further from the Iraq
meltdown. This move will also be favored by those in Washington who realize
how politically unpopular a third US invasion of Iraq would be at home, but
who want to “do something” in the face of the crisis. Shipping weapons
may be an action short of war, but it usually leads to war. And as we have already
seen in Iraq and Syria, very often these weapons fall into the hands of the
al-Qaeda we are supposed to be fighting!

Because of the government’s foolish policy of foreign interventionism,
the US is faced with two equally stupid choices: either pour in resources to
prop up an Iraqi government that is a close ally with Iran, or throw our support
in with al-Qaeda in Iraq (as we have done in Syria). I say we must follow a
third choice: ally with the American people and spend not one more dollar or
one more life attempting to remake the Middle East. Haven’t we have already
done enough damage?

You broke, you own it. Every supporter of the war to destroy Iraq should be given an AK47, a one-way ticket to Iraq and a reasonable of supply of ammo. There were sufficient of them to form a fair sized army.

-Ron Paul September 2002

The date on this can't be right. I got it on good authority (Bill O'Reilly) that EVERYONE thought Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. And our sainted Secretary of State at the time made the tie-in between weapons of mass destruction and nuclear weapons when she said we shouldn't wait for a smoking gun in the form of a mushroom cloud. What more proof do you need?

Have we done enough! We do not even know just how much! Let's see. Today, Croatian papers are reporting how the Croatian weapons seen on ISIS fighters came there from Croatia. State Department ordered the weapons (rocket launchers, submachine guns, and assorted small arms), Saudi Arabia paid for it, and it was shipped from Croatia's Pleso Airport over time throgh Turkey or Jordan, where they were given to Syrian "rebels", aka ISIS. The articles lists the types of weapons that are seen on various postings by ISIS. This is not a new phenomena. Libyan fighters were also equiped by Ukrainian arms, and who knows what other East European country that is now either memeber of NATO or NATO Partnership for Peace. Al-Qaeda does not consider ISIS to be linked to Al-Qaeda. It is funded by Saudi Arabia, and Al-Qaeda is AGAINST Saudi Arabia. The leader of ISIS was captured for four years by US in Iraq, and it will not be the first time that "talent" is recruited in this manner. I would not be surprised that he saw action in Libya, just as ISIS beat out all other groups in Syria. Who are those mythical "moderates" that we are funding and arming in Syria? Nobody is naming, but only ISIS is real danger to Syria.

This is NOT SECTARIAN WAR. It is mercenary war, that is DELIBERATELY CREATING SECTARIAN WAR. The absolute neocon dream is to create Sunni/Shiia war — and the dream of dreams is to have Egypt drop its independent Al-Azhar Sunni authority,and join Saudi-led Sunni world against Iran. But such dreams of DUMB people who have all sorts of diplomas, are sucking US into an economic and political disaster. Just as they made US step into Ukrainian mud, now, they are dreaming of chopping up Iraq into three pieces. ISIS brutality is infamous, yet, only now are their videos showing on CNN, but not pictures of heineous crimes they committed in Syria. The question is — who is really who? Is ISIS under control of Saudis? Who is really setting up the objective? Who holds the purse strings? Those Toyota trucks, rocket launchers, machine guns, gas, food and soldiers salaries do not come from Allah. It is really going to turn out that US will find itself at one hand of Saudi plans, and the other, of Iranian and Turkish objectives in Iraq? Iran and Turkey have common objectives in Iraq — but US is stuck between opposing Saudi and Turkish-Iranian interests. While Maliki government — or any successor, will find a way to cooperate with Iran and Turkey, but neither can do it with Saudi Arabia. While US interests have been tied to protecting Saudi Arabia and Israel, both having developed intractable and deep animosities with most of the region. Not exactly a winning situation for US and the rest of West that is being dragged into it.

While: An extensive essay of Tony Blair’s, posted on his website argues that the crisis in Iraq involving the explosive expansion of the jihadist Sunni militant group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/ISIS) is actually the fault of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s Shiite minority government, as well as the war in Syria.

Although: this man or people in his position with the caliber of understanding explaining their criminal acts by blaming it on other, but his comments rises questions to be asked: who started the Iraq war to began with!, who in corporation with Sunni extremism in Iraq and beyond Iraq borders wanted to remove Saddam Hussein!, whom is responsible wanting to remove the Syrian legitimate government and elected president!, who started the idea in dividing nations in Yugoslavia, falsifying the truth about the matters there as well as in Iraq!, what was the reason for England, French, Swedish, Italian and above all US government removal and killing of Kaddafi!, and what is the reason behind the most recent creation by what is a growing Neo fascism "democracy" in Ukraine!, all that points to the fact that there is more of a fabricated liberal democracy orchestrated by the west is only about geopolitical/economic interests behind atrocity/war crime committed by Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, George w. Bush and now Barack Hussein Obama government then just a question of Sunni terrorism. Having said that, beside USG being at war for last 60 years, and for last 30 years in direct cooperation with NATO everywhere you look the same idea in dividing nation using their religious or social cultural difference has been the EU-US agenda, to do that they have bribed those whom are in position doing so, one of them is and has been extremism in Afghanistan, Iraq later in Libya, and now in Syria and Iraq. Supporting such idea the west has turned to elements that are capable turning the time backward, the religious extremisms that exist in Saudi Arabia has been the key to their creation of what has become the reality of the day in Iraq and Syria. Since Balkan war, everywhere you look the Saudis, the UAE have a hand in all this, which the matters proven to be the facts that the very same extremism that Tony Blair talking about, are feed, supported and paid by Saudis, armed and trained by USA, Turkish, English and other European government where they have gain nothing but managed to destroy a country, which in reality has been the main idea.

Tony Blair comments is proving that USG and EU present or past governing body taking the side of tyrants regimes by being supportive and feeding such regimes as their "friends" when they are needed, then being on the side of democracy and people demand for a functioning one. Tony Blair saying is yet another blaming game for the Neo liberal political and economical failure in their unjust social economic and politics, both domestic and international. These far behind liberals and whatever is in their political baggage still believe in their colonial supremacy and the idea in new world order that can be saved if they continue lying about the truth and keep on with their war crimes acts all over the world.

Meanwhile: Anders Fogh Rasmussen, out going NATO chief saying: "We must adapt to the fact that Russia now considers us its adversary," although, it is not Russia who spends the Russia people money to create what USG and EU have created in Ukraine, nor it is the Russian government involved in creating and supporting Neo fascism in Denmark or in Sweden nor they are involved in training Sunni or other kind of terrorism, nor they consider the tyrants regimes as Saudis and UAE as their closets "allies", indicating that present EU-USG, again, refusing to understand that the first principals in democratic value is about the people unity; however, the concept uniting people for EU-USG for last 60 been, first divide them, then kill some of them, then destroy their countries and then unite them demanding that such unification must met their social political and economic demand pointing to the fact that these liberals understanding are limited to militarism/militarization rather then democratization proving that their kind of "democracy" can only be achieved if the world is militarized, and that's exactly what EU and USG has done in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan later Iraq, Libya and doing it in Syria.
